Dartmouth Ram

Doesn't he have business connections in the Derby area BT? If he does it'd certainly make sense he'd want to stay in the local area rather than just north of London.

Nixon's claiming Hull are in for him. Also just been called up to the Gambia Squad with Ebou Adams

For us? I remember Big Dave absolutely smashing a West Brom player in the box during the 2007 play off final and getting waved off. Sitting in the crowd I couldn't believe it wasn't a pen.. Against us? Atwell against Forest all day long. Inept from start to finish.

I hope they do too. Would rather have Ben Osbourn now he's available

In talks to extend his contract

Kelle Roos from Nuneaton Town unfortunately 👍

Your wish is my command! 😁 Looking a little fragile defensively and on the bench mind... Any I've missed?

I'll add a bit of international flavour to that post: CM - Markus Poom - 25 yo son of the great Mart Poom, Estonian international currently on loan at Shamrock Rovers. Born in Derby no less AM - Onni Valakari - 24 yo son of Simon Valakari, highly rated Finnish international plays for FC Pafos in Cyprus. CM - Emil Bohinen - 25 yo son of Lars Bohinen, currently on loan at Genoa from Salernitana and another Derby born lad. Must be some more I've missed?

Just been released by Barnsley. 1st incoming of the season perhaps?

A bit of a controversial one, but I'd love to see Ben Osborn at Derby. Right age and very versatile, he can play in that Left Wing Back position or Centre Mid (both areas we need to strengthen). Wages might be a sticking point however... Looks like he'll be released by Sheffield Utd and he's definitely Championship standards. I know he's an ex Red Dog and I know he scored that winner against us but he's a Derby lad and that's got to count for something, right???

I wouldn't mind giving this fella another chance. Could be going to the Euros this Summer... Any takers?

Curtis Nelson: 9/10 - Shaky opening few games, but an absolulte rock thereafter. Fully deserved his POTY award Callum Elder: 6/10 - Decent(ish) performer at this level but injuries haven't helped. Joe Ward: 7/10 - Been good when played at RWB, not so much when he's played elsewhere. Fantastic Crosser mind... Sonny Bradley: 6/10 - Jury's still out for me. Looked like a shadow of the player has was at Luton early on but grew as the season progressed. Glad his stupid Red Card at Northampton didn't cost us dearly. Josh Vickers: 6/10 - Able deputy but no more than that. Kane Wilson: 8/10 - Impressive. Always looked lively when he played and chipped in with a few vital goals Martyn Waghorn: 4/10 - Started brightly but faded into obscurity as the season progressed. Not one for Championship. Conor Washington: 4/10 Underwhelming signing and proved to be just that. Too old and too inconsistent, the 3 goals says it all really. Tyrese Fornah: 6/10 - A strange one. Looked promising when he first signed then got injured, been on the fringes ever since. Elliot Embleton: N/A Ryan Nyambe: 8/10 - Can't remember him having a bad game, very good defensively and I'm glad we tied him down on a longer contract. Tyreece John-Jules: 3/10 - Not for me I'm afraid, shows flashes but far too injury prone. Why we didn't cancel his loan when he got injured a second time is beyond me. Winter: Ebou Adams: 10/10 - The best loan signing we've ever had imo and I remember Leon Osman! Alsolutely key to our promotion push and it's imperitive that we sign him perminately. Dwight Gayle: 7/10 - Bagged some vital goals for us and always looked a threat. Whether he can do it in the Championship is another question... Corey Blackett-Taylor: 5/10 - excited when he joined but very disappointing so far & that miss at Wycombe wouldn't have helped his confidence. Let's see what he can do with a full pre-season with Warne under his belt. Max Bird: 8/10 - Will miss him in that Midlfield. Perfect way to sign off his Derby career. Extensions: Nathaniel Mendez-Laing: 9/10 - Vital we tied him down to a new deal and looking forward to what he can do in the Championship. More than capable of give teams in that league problems. Eiran Cashin: 9/10 - Honestly though he'd go to Brighton in January so I'm delighted he's committed to us. Puts us in a stong postion financially if clubs come sniffing in the Summer. Jake Rooney: 6/10 - Not sure he's suited for the Championship, but always good to get our young players tied down.

Harrison Burrows contract is up at Peterborough at the end of the season. Would take him in a heartbeat, superb LWB.

Signed for Icelandic top flight side HK. Good luck to the lad: https://twitter.com/EnglishAbroad1/status/1776942995163476293?t=EBhEDg8Irma8-CqYLH1nrQ&s=19

It's the hope that kills you isn't it... 😭
